I’m sorry, but I like this truck.

White truck has black band at bottom that swoops up across the rear edge, with Ontario PSI in green shaded letters

And I especially like the trailer.

I have a surprisingly large collection of photos of coloured truck wheels.

Truck tire surrounds whit ewheel whose inside bolts all have neon-gren triangular tabs pointing inward

I suppose at this point that sort of thing shouldn’t be surprising.

If it is the quintessential New York story to pack up and move from Idaho to a cold-water tenement and a life in the theatre, and if it is the quintessential British story to leave in the morning with everything you own in a little black case –

Front-end loader, raised up on its rear stabilizer feet, sits on beach sand behind boardwalk

– then surely it is the quintessential Toronto story to ride one’s bicycle in mid-winter past a lakefront beach barely dappled with snow only to encounter a disused front-end loader with rear auger attachment hiked up on its haunches on the sand.

Not as bad as the last time, but still rather formidable.

Hand holds up three hardcover books: ‘Disability Drama in Television and Film,’ ‘The World’s Writing Systems,’ ‘Ethnologue: Languages of the World’

Light-reading-for-a-Saturday-night kind of thing.

In a previous era, I was able to photograph the rarest of police vehicles, the stealth cruiser (reproduced here).

Ford Crown Victoria police cruiser. Flash photo ‘illuminates’ decals showing car number [6002], police insignia, telephone icon and ‘9-1-1,’ ‘To Serve and Protect’ slogan, and body-side stripes. In daylight photo, no markings are visible save for vestigial insignia

Sort of like putting a studded collar on an accountant, it is now possible to photograph a stealth minivan.

Navy-blue minivan has bronze stripes and markings (6315, 9·1·1, TO SERVE AND PROTECT)
